Tbh when I say anime must be destroyed, I don’t mean all anime. I mean the kind of anime with disposable female characters, the kind that has a strong female character lose every ounce of determination when she falls in love with the protagonist, and turns into a doting housewife when they get together. I’m talking the kind that has little sisters with a crush on their big brother, that uses sexual assault for fanservice.
Sword Art Online. I’m talking about Sword Art Online.
In Japanese folklore, Gashadokuro, also known as Odokuro, are giant skeletons, fifteen times taller than an average person, and are constructed from the bones of people who have died from starvation. Their bones are collected into this giant skeleton creature which is filled with intense anger and a thirst for human blood. He wanders around at night, grinding his teeth and making a “gachi gachi” sound. The giant skeleton towers so high above the ground and walks so quietly that he can be almost invisible. The only warning you get when the giant skeleton is near is a strange and inexplicable ringing in your ears.
If the Gashadokuro finds you, he will reach down with his bony hand and snatch you off the ground. Then he will pluck your head off and suck the blood out of your headless body until his thirst is quenched.
After moving to Australia, I trained everyday and participated in tournaments. But I couldn't swim the way I wanted to. The Olympics were completely out of reach. I felt more and more like I was being left behind. I could only wonder. Why was I struggling so much? Why? Ah... It was because I swam in a relay. I ruined myself. That was the conclusion I arrived at.
